RESUMO
The renal medullary collecting duct (MCD) secretes protons into its lumen and HCO3 into its basolateral space. Basolateral HCO3 transport is thought to occur via Cl/HCO3 exchange. To further characterize this Cl/HCO3 exchange process, intracellular pH (pHi) regulation was monitored in freshly prepared rabbit outer MCD cells. Cells were separated by protease digestion and purified by Ficoll gradient centrifugation. pHi was estimated fluorometrically using the entrapped intracytoplasmic pH indicator, 6-carboxyfluorescein. Cells were preincubated in bicarbonate-containing solutions and then abruptly diluted into bicarbonate-free media. The MCD cell pHi response to abrupt removal of CO2/HCO3 included an initial alkalinization due to rapid CO2 efflux, followed by an acidification due to HCO3 efflux and a gradual recovery to the resting pHi of 7.24 +/- 0.06 partly due to the action of a plasma membrane H+-ATPase. The initial alkalinization required a CO2/HCO3 gradient and did not occur in the presence of acetazolamide. The acidification phase required intracellular HCO3 and extracellular Cl, which was consistent with a Cl/HCO3 exchange. MCD HCO3 efflux exhibited saturable kinetics for extracellular Cl, with a Michaelis constant (Km) of 29.9 +/- 7.7 mM. HCO3 efflux also exhibited preference for halides over NO3, SCN, and gluconate, and striking sensitivity to disulfonic stilbene and acetazolamide inhibition, with an apparent K1 of 5 X 10(-7) M for DIDS. The final pHi recovery required intracellular ATP, which indicated that Cl/HCO3 and H+-ATPase activities are present in the same cells in these suspensions. The results provide direct evidence for MCD Cl/HCO3 exchange and describe some of the properties of this transport process.
